Art Therapy on an alternative healing online community: All Things Healing

January 20th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

If you read my Leading Carol blog, you might have read that I’m going to doing some editing/blogging on a holistic community forum called All Things Healing.  I  thought I write here about their art therapy page.

On their page, they combine arts and art therapy.  http://www.allthingshealing.com/fine-healing-visual-art-therapy.php   While they cover a range of arts related therapy, they have some focus blogs/forums on art therapy.   They have an article focused on Erica Curtis and her work in art therapy with elderly and another article on her work with brain injury.  She has been profiled as an art therapist, as have I.  They also put in an article on the benefits of hiring credentialed art therapists.  I am happy they include work on trauma as well.  So while I may be focused on the Non-Profits/Orgs page, I may see if I can submit an article or two on art therapy!

All Things Healing is seeking an Assistant Editor for their art therapy page is anyone out there is interested!  For more information please contact Eden Kozlowski atedenk@allthingshealing.com
